Ugh all these bands being named are so... generic.

I, unfortunately, will have to pick some pretty generic ones as well. I like Bleed and I by Meshuggah; Right in Two, Aenema, Third Eye, Jambi, and Forty-Six & 2 by Tool; She is Beautiful, Ready to Die, and Long Live the Party by Andrew W.K.; and Aces High by Iron Maiden.

Favorite song: hmmm probably either Detox or The Wrong Side

If anyone hasn't heard this band, do yourself a favour and check em out! They are beyond awesome and one of the most insanely heavy but melodic bands around. I love em. They're also one of the few metal bands that aren't afraid to poke fun at themselves!

The wrong side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rMzit6DZrg

Detox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOOKx-ClQw&feature=related

I like OMFG or Far Beyond Metal better than Wrong Side but Detox destroys most metal songs ever.

 

[BlackIronGuardian]

Gonna go with Blind Guardian's ''Mirror Mirror''. Acquired taste, I guess.

Lamb of God- Now You've Got Something To Die For, but i gotta say Children Of Bodom are my favorite metal band.

I like OMFG or Far Beyond Metal better than Wrong Side but Detox destroys most metal songs ever.

Detox is an absolute masterpiece of a song. Art at its finest. The power and emotion in that song are fucking mind blowing...

Brave Murder Day by Katatonia

 

[Ishnuvalok]

Another Metallica. My song is Four Horsemen

It's not Metallica's song, they ripped Mustaine off and you know it All they did was add a crappy bridge and slowed it down. Don't get me wrong, I love old Metallica.

Anyway, for me it would probably be either Angel of Death - Slayer or

Tornado of Souls - Megadeth

I'm listening to Eradication Instincts Defined by Dimmu Borgir and it's kicking a significant amount of ass.


I don't usually pick favorites, so here's some of my all time favorite metal songs.

Arch Enemy - The First Deadly Sin
Behemoth - Sculpting the Throne ov Seth
Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
Dragonlord (NOT DRAGONFORCE, THEY SUCK) - Rapture
Kamelot - March of Maphisto
Megadeth - Hanger 18
Melechesh - Rebirth of the Nemesis
Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine
Metallica - Harvester of Sorrow
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Slayer - Black Magic
Tool - Vicarious
Vader - Epitaph (For Humanity)

Damn... I went a bit overboard.

All time: Iron Maiden, Dance of Death

Currently: Dark Tranquillity, Lost to Apathy. Music video is nifty too.

EDIT: And my avatar is refusing to change, instead simply resizing. Any help?

At the moment, I'm hooked on:

'Cry of the Black Birds' - Amon Amarth
'Ravenous [Live in Japan]' - Arch Enemy
'On Your Time' - Dark Tranquillity
'The Unforgiving Blade' - HammerFall
'Center of the Universe' - Kamelot
'The Phantom of the Opera' - Nightwish with Tarja

.. Huh Seems to be in order from manliest to cheesiest. Oh well. XD

[SirJewBagel]

Megasus by Megasus

Actually, anything by them is very good, but I like a lot of heavier and lighter metal bands...can't pick a favorite.

 

[SovietSecrets]

In Flames - Trigger.

 

[Fingerprint]

I will get a cyber slap for this but punk beats metal everytime

I will give you a cyber handshake, sir. I agree wholeheartedly.

Finally, someone else.

Tie My Rope - Children of Bodom
